life within life

Post by mutsuura » July 18th, 2021, 11:26 am

I'm new to this forum but have known about 'life' since early 70's.

At the 29:25 minute mark in this video [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeQX2HjkcNo ] narrator mentions about a pattern script capable of playing 'life' within 'life'.

Can anyone point me to the pattern script shown in the video?
I have 'golly' downloaded.

Thx

Attila

It's "metafier.lua" located within the "Scripts/Lua" folder. To use it, select a region first and then click on the script, then wait for it to finish placing down all of the unit cells.
